eraI Demand for Pardon.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
ANsoN, Tex, May w. H. Smith
was to-day convicted in the District court
for embezzIement and awarded two years
in the penitentiary. Mr.. Smith has been
twice electe d county and district clerk of
this county, and refused to run again for
the office last year. He was well liked
by everybody except perhaps few jeal-
Gus Office seekers. The facts as developed
on the trial are about as follows:
Last July some parties gave him $42.6 5
to send 10 Austin to make payments on
some school lands, and by some cause
which could not be explained the money
did not reach Austin in time to make the
payment and keep the land from being
forfeited to the state. Smith sent an at
torpey to Austin to see if he could not
get the land awarded to the parties at the
same price-$1 per acre. In this he
failed. He then got the parties to mahe
a new application and the land was
awarded to them at So per acre in place
of 81, Mr.. Smith paying the difference of
81 per acre. He also paid the $42.65
back. The grand jury came along and
indicted him, and he had his trial to-day
with the above result. The whole county
is indignant over the matter and will
make strong effort to get him
a pardon. The district Judge and
attorney will both recomemnd it,
also the jury that convicted him will
sign his petition. One of the jurors says
he will carry the petition to every man
in the county. Mr.. Smith has wife and
four dependent children left in destitute
circumstances, he having spent all he had
in his defense.
Joe Brown is now on trial for the
murder of William Glazener, the jailer,
on the 31st of last August.

Unable to Agree.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
WICHITA FALLS, Tex, May 1.-THE
jury empaneled yesterday to inquire into
the sanity of Barney Morrison before
placing him on trial for an attempted
rape on the person of Pauline Leader, an
eleven-year-old girl, failed to agree, and
the sheriff is trying hard to find another
jury that is not disqualified. The expert
and non-expert witnesses did not agree,
as opinions are strong for and against
his sanity. His friends hope that he
may be sent to the asylum, and the belief
of others that he ought to go the peniten-
tiary are equally strong, and all in all it is
a sac case and furnishes food for refec-
ton. Much sympathy is felt for his gray
haired father, who testified with tears in
mis- eyes that Barney's mind was IN
balanced, and had been for long time.
Judge Slime holds tnat the question
should be confined to the point whether
with the aid of counsel ne can make q
proper defense, and Notwithstanding the
very serious character Of the trial, opin-
ions of witnesses and remarks of counsel
provoked laughter that had to be re-
pressed.

CleveIand's seIf-Respecting Way.
IChicaoo Herald

Mr.. Cleveland pursues a method
altogether uniquein men holding the
chief magistracy. He pays his way in
every particular, When O President
of the United States was last in Chicago
he came by special trains supplied at
their own cost by the railways over
which he travelled. His journey to the
northwest was continued in the same
way. Mr.. Cleveland will come Mt his
own cost for transportation. The plan
is expensive when a long journey, such
as is projected, is undertaken, but the
maintenance of one's self-respect Ii
something, and freedom from obliga-
ton to corporations which may be sup
plants for executive favor is due the
people by their magistrate. The pro-
visions Of the Interstate Commerce law
regarding free transportation might
easily be avoided in this case, as it has
been in many others. But the Presi-
dents determination to reject favors OF
this kind antedates the passage of the
law referred to. When heleft Albany
to be inaagurated at Washington lie
came upon train which he had paid
for. When upon q very personal
occasion he went to Deer Park he had
the use Of Garrett's car, but he paid the
Baltimore & Ohio road for 1t. This
creditable habit he pursues uniformly,
and, though it make a draft upon his
purse, it is not without compensations
which every one who enjoys independ-
ence ofaction will appreciate.

were erected in mid-air and all fell
short of reaching the dead man, but
finally he was got down on the Hayes
extension and carried into a neighbor-
ing drug store. He had been dead
some time, and through his body dur
ing the time he hung there had passed
the electric current of the entire Brush
system, which had made his limbs
move as If fconvulsively. Thus perish
ed Lineman Hiram Corliss. Nobody
knows how long he had hung in the
wires when discovered. An immense
crowd gathered to watch the efforts to
secure the body, an operation attended
with great danger because the electric
current was still on. Corliss, in replac-
ing or looking for leak, had made a
fatal find.
